Matt. 13:45-46, Eph. 5:25

    G                           Em
The kingdom of the heavens is a merchant
C                            D
Seeking finest pearls in the world
  G                                 Em
A single pearl He found of greatest value.
   C                D
He sold His all and bought it.

Em     D         G
Christ loved the church
C                     D
He paid the price for her.
   Em        D      G
He knows her all-surpassing worth
    C             D
And I too give my all
            G
To gain His pearl

2. A pearl is something transformed in death waters,
Not something created by God.
The church is nothing natural, but she’s processed
Through death and resurrection.

3. Once just a little rock or grain of sand, we
Wounded Christ who died on the cross.
Our sinner-loving Savior, He embraced us—
Secreted life around us.

4. Although we wound the Savior, never leave Him.
In His wound remain, make your home.
He’ll keep dispensing resurrection into us,
Transform us to His treasure.

To Gain His Pearl

Lyrics+Chords (updated)

      C                     F        G  C              
1. Through many conversations
                                F              G
Opening up to the Lord in all things
              Dm                 C
Whether big things or small
           G                          Am
He is touched with them all
            F              Dm      G
To dispense His supply therein. 
 
2.  Yet we await His speaking 
Giving Him the first place in all things 
As He moves in our heart,
All His burden imparts,
We become letters sealed with Him. 


Chorus:
                        F        G          C -Am 
Then we flow out--  just who we are
                      F           G              C   -Am
As who we are is increasingly Christ.
                  F         G               C             Am  -F
When we contact God in our mingled spirit 
                       G             C
We know His heart and mind.


3. The sense of life directs us
In His gentle anointing each day
As His life operates,
In the choices we make
We depend ever more on Him. 
 
4.  His written Word is living 
When we catch, with the Spirit, the flame
As we pray with His Word
Divine language is heard
And as rhema He motivates.

Through Many Conversations (with Zach Miner)

Overcome!

In This Godless Age

Fill My Spirit Up

Draw me, dear Lord.
Draw me today.
From everything else, dear Lord,
Draw me away.

O Lord, this whole world
Seems to weigh me down.
All the cares, the strife, the sin,
Within me and all around.

But, Lord, I want to set my heart,
And, Lord, I want to stay with You.
’Cause only when You’re near to me
Is everything okay.

And though everything may fall apart
Or everything go my way,
It doesn’t really matter, Lord,
As long as I gain You today.

Draw Me, Dear Lord

BSB 109 + 112 + 119 (A Medley)

1
C              Am           F          G
The Lord is coming as a thief;
C                     Am F            G
We need more oil every day
            F                                      G
With lamps well-trimmed and fires burning
C                Am
To be qualified
F                                 G
To be stolen by the Lord.

Chorus:
                    C                   Am
Every "today" that we have
    F                              G
Is truly the Lord's grace;
                    C                Am
As long as we have today
              F                                    G
And as long as we still have breath,
                     C           Am
We should love the Lord
         F          G
And His appearing,
     C                       Am
Await the Lord's coming,
          F                                     G           C
And always take it as an encouragement.

2
Lord, we choose to be vitalized
And overcome all that replaces Christ
We'll let the world go and drop all things
Waiting with all our heart,
Watching for Your coming.

3
Make us overcomers, as the high peak,
The center, the strengthening, the uplifting,
The enriching, and reality of the church, the
Holy city,
Lord, to bring You back!

Every "today" that we have

God Is Spreading In My Being!

Reminder of the day: Your job on this earth is to defeat Satan & bring the Lord Jesus back.
